GT and EB springs have different rates, not advisable.

Afe filter is for GT, will that fit an EB?
Your right regarding the springs dont ask but i installed a set of steeda ultra lite linear springs for an eco boost on my GT they were meant to be Sport progressive lol wondered why car was sitting that bit low and could not get the alignment correct :shrug: . Anyway have correct springs now all good .

Hi there


Decided to ditch my Steeda strut brace as the option to get a genuine GT 350 one here in the UK arose.


Steeda Strut brace - now for sale!









Shelby GT 350 Strut brace!







The Shelby GT 350 fits much better, though it does touch the K-member brace due to RHD & LHD differences, but its so slight it tightens down no issue. Though I shall remove it and cut a little from the underside of the brace so that the two do not touch. Even with this it fits nicer than the Steeda unit and is a much quicker and easier install.

Nah its how its supposed to be and once my engine bay looks identical to a GT 350 it will look more on point. ;)

Nah I prefer the subtle yet aggressive look, pin stripes, stripes in general though look cool I feel are not needed. :)

Sleeper stang ;)?

I was more on about pinstripe around the plastics. Or the pinstripes in the interior like I've got in red. :shrug:


(Just trying to fuel the mod-obsession, like all your/other peoples do to me :lol:)

Just bling.

Our cars do have a K-member brace which braces the front-end, so any additional bracing from the strut brace is most likely null and void from the k-member.

But its just a case of why not and this was in the UK so grabbed it. My Steeda one is now up for grabs, they are £214 plus delivery from Steeda, I will take £160 delivered. :)

Don't forget to post your findings and opinions please :thumbsup:

I will try mine on the way home from the garage after getting the wiring loom fixed and see what its like (on an Auto)

Lund has confirmed this, Sport+ throttlemaps are designed more with drag racing in mind, so more on/off style throttle. Race is designed to have smoother transitions for race track driving.

So I was not imagining it and your colleague was correct. They have also given me a new tune to try with new throttle mapping for the PMAS. :)

Nice. Let us know how the new tune runs and what kind of difference it makes.
